Designing for a Strange CMS

When designing the new KCRW website, the design firm had to hand off the complex design to be integrated into a CMS (Plone) they knew nothing about. Doug and Alec explained how that worked at the 2016 Plone Conference.

Doug Pfeffer, the lead web developer for Hard Candy Shell on the redesign of the KCRW website, explained the process and tools that made this transition go smoothly. Alec Mitchell, the lead on Jazkarta's side, chimed in with information about how things worked from the Plone side. KCRW is Southern California's flagship National Public Radio station. The redesign by Hard Candy Shell of this multimedia site won the 2015 Webby for best radio and podcast website.
